Leadership in Christian Perspective

Leadership in Christian Perspective brings the best of leadership theory and
research together with biblical reflection and examples of leadership in
action. Combining expertise in leadership studies and biblical studies, Justin
Irving and Mark Strauss explore how leadership models have moved from
autocratic and paternalistic leader-centered models toward an increased focus
on followers. They show how contemporary theories such as transformational
leadership, authentic leadership, and servant leadership take an important step
toward prioritizing and empowering followers who work with leaders to
accomplish organizational goals.
Organized around nine empowering practices," this practical guide is " accessible to all Christian students of leadership. It integrates solid
research in leadership studies with biblical and theological reflection on the
leadership ideas that are most compatible with Christian faith, making it an
important resource for professors and students in leadership and pastoral
theology courses, pastors and church leaders, and Christian business leaders.
